Online Submission, Paper presented at the First e-Learning Forum (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 24-25, 2008)
This study defined e-learning, the e-classroom, the e-course, learning management, learning management systems, instructional content management systems, and the Moodle system for managing e-courses. It also reviewed examples of some American schools and school districts that used the Moodle system in education and teacher training. The study identified some of the requirements for implementing Moodle e-courses, which included issuing the Ministry of Education's directive requiring teachers to enroll in training courses on using Moodle, training teacher trainers, determining the training objectives and content, the necessary infrastructure for implementing e-courses, a budget for e-learning, preparing electronic instructional content, and levels of implementing e-courses and providing technical support to teachers. The study gave some recommendations.
